Guide for Tantalum and Niobium
Solid Electrolyte Chip Capacitors
INTRODUCTION
Tantalum electrolytic capacitors are the preferred choice in
applications where volumetric efficiency, stable electrical
parameters, high reliability, and long service life are primary
considerations. The stability and resistance to elevated
temperatures of the tantalum / tantalum oxide / manganese
dioxide system make solid tantalum capacitors an
appropriate choice for today's surface mount assembly
technology.
Vishay Sprague has been a pioneer and leader in this field,
producing a large variety of tantalum capacitor types for
consumer, industrial, automotive, military, and aerospace
electronic applications.
Tantalum is not found in its pure state. Rather, it is
commonly found in a number of oxide minerals, often in
combination with Columbium ore. This combination is
known as “tantalite” when its contents are more than
one-half tantalum. Important sources of tantalite include
Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, and several African
countries. Synthetic tantalite concentrates produced from
tin slags in Thailand, Malaysia, and Brazil are also a
significant raw material for tantalum production.
Electronic applications, and particularly capacitors,
consume the largest share of world tantalum production.
Other important applications for tantalum include cutting
tools (tantalum carbide), high temperature super alloys,
chemical processing equipment, medical implants, and
military ordnance.
Vishay Sprague is a major user of tantalum materials in the
form of powder and wire for capacitor elements and rod and
sheet for high temperature vacuum processing.
THE BASICS OF TANTALUM CAPACITORS
Most metals form crystalline oxides which are
non-protecting, such as rust on iron or black oxide on
copper. A few metals form dense, stable, tightly adhering,
electrically insulating oxides. These are the so-called “valve”
metals and include titanium, zirconium, niobium, tantalum,
hafnium, and aluminum. Only a few of these permit the
accurate control of oxide thickness by electrochemical
means. Of these, the most valuable for the electronics
industry are aluminum and tantalum.
Capacitors are basic to all kinds of electrical equipment,
from radios and television sets to missile controls and
automobile ignitions. Their function is to store an electrical
charge for later use.
Capacitors consist of two conducting surfaces, usually
metal plates, whose function is to conduct electricity. They
are separated by an insulating material or dielectric. The
dielectric used in all tantalum electrolytic capacitors is
tantalum pentoxide.
Tantalum pentoxide compound possesses high-dielectric
strength and a high-dielectric constant. As capacitors are
being manufactured, a film of tantalum pentoxide is applied
to their electrodes by means of an electrolytic process. The
film is applied in various thicknesses and at various voltages
and although transparent to begin with, it takes on different
colors as light refracts through it. This coloring occurs on the
tantalum electrodes of all types of tantalum capacitors.
Revision: 11-Apr-16
Rating for rating, tantalum capacitors tend to have as much
as three times better capacitance / volume efficiency than
aluminum electrolytic capacitors. An approximation of the
capacitance / volume efficiency of other types of capacitors
may be inferred from the following table, which shows the
dielectric constant ranges of the various materials used in
each type. Note that tantalum pentoxide has a dielectric
constant of 26, some three times greater than that of
aluminum oxide. This, in addition to the fact that extremely
thin films can be deposited during the electrolytic process
mentioned earlier, makes the tantalum capacitor extremely
efficient with respect to the number of microfarads available
per unit volume. The capacitance of any capacitor is
determined by the surface area of the two conducting
plates, the distance between the plates, and the dielectric
constant of the insulating material between the plates.

In the tantalum electrolytic capacitor, the distance between
the plates is very small since it is only the thickness of the
tantalum pentoxide film. As the dielectric constant of the
tantalum pentoxide is high, the capacitance of a tantalum
capacitor is high if the area of the plates is large:

where

C = ------t
C = capacitance
e = dielectric constant
A = surface area of the dielectric
t = thickness of the dielectric
Tantalum capacitors contain either liquid or solid
electrolytes. In solid electrolyte capacitors, a dry material
(manganese dioxide) forms the cathode plate. A tantalum
lead is embedded in or welded to the pellet, which is in turn
connected to a termination or lead wire. The drawings show
the construction details of the surface mount types of
tantalum capacitors shown in this catalog.

SOLID ELECTROLYTE TANTALUM CAPACITORS
TANTALUM CAPACITORS FOR ALL DESIGN
CONSIDERATIONS
Solid electrolyte capacitors contain manganese dioxide,
which is formed on the tantalum pentoxide dielectric layer
by impregnating the pellet with a solution of manganous
nitrate. The pellet is then heated in an oven, and the
manganous nitrate is converted to manganese dioxide.
Solid electrolyte designs are the least expensive for a given
rating and are used in many applications where their very
small size for a given unit of capacitance is of importance.
Also important are their good low temperature performance
characteristics and freedom from corrosive electrolytes.
The pellet is next coated with graphite, followed by a layer
of metallic silver, which provides a conductive surface
between the pellet and the leadframe.
Datasheets covering the various types and styles of
capacitors for consumer and entertainment electronics and
industry applications are available where detailed
performance characteristics must be specified.
Molded chip tantalum capacitor encases the element in
plastic resins, such as epoxy materials. After assembly, the
capacitors are tested and inspected to assure long life and
reliability. It offers excellent reliability and high stability for
consumer and commercial electronics with the added
feature of low cost.
Surface mount designs of “Solid Tantalum” capacitors use
lead frames as shown in the accompanying drawings.

GUIDE TO APPLICATION
1.
AC Ripple Current: the maximum allowable ripple
current shall be determined from the formula:
I R MS =
4.
P
-----------R ESR
where,
P=
2.
At 85 °C: 5 % of the rated voltage or 0.5 V, whichever
is smaller.
power dissipation in W at +25 °C as given in
the tables in the product datasheets.
RESR = the capacitor equivalent series resistance at
the specified frequency.
5.
Mounting Precautions:
5.1
Limit Pressure on Capacitor Installation with
Mounter: pressure must not exceed 4.9 N with a tool
end diameter of 1.5 mm when applied to the
capacitors using an absorber, centering tweezers, or
similar (maximum permitted pressurization time: 5 s).
An excessively low absorber setting position would
result in not only the application of undue force to the
capacitors but capacitor and other component
scattering, circuit board wiring breakage, and / or
cracking as well, particularly when the capacitors are
mounted together with other chips having a height of
1 mm or less.
AC Ripple Voltage: the maximum allowable ripple
voltage shall be determined from the formula:
P
V R MS = Z -----------R ESR
or, from the formula:
V RMS = I R MS x Z
where,
P=
power dissipation in W at +25 °C as given in
the tables in the product datasheets.
RESR = The capacitor equivalent series resistance at
the specified frequency.
Z=
2.1
The capacitor impedance at the specified
frequency.
The tantalum capacitors must be used in such a
condition that the sum of the working voltage and
ripple voltage peak values does not exceed the rated
voltage as shown in figure below.
Reverse Voltage: the capacitors are not intended for
use with reverse voltage applied. If the application of
an reverse voltage is unavoidable, it must not exceed
the following values:
At 25 °C: 10 % of the rated voltage or 1 V, whichever
is smaller.
5.2
Flux Selection
5.2.1 Select a flux that contains a minimum of chlorine and
amine.
5.2.2 After flux use, the chlorine and amine in the flux
remain must be removed.
5.3
Cleaning After Mounting: the following solvents are
usable when cleaning the capacitors after mounting.
Never use a highly active solvent.
• Halogen organic solvent (HCFC225, etc.)
• Alcoholic solvent (IPA, ethanol, etc.)

Temperature Derating: power dissipation is
affected by the heat sinking capability of the
mounting surface. If these capacitors are to
be operated at temperatures above +25 °C, the
permissible ripple current (or voltage) shall be
calculated using the derating coefficient as shown in
the table below:

• Petroleum solvent, alkali saponifying agent, water,
etc.
Circuit board cleaning must be conducted at a
temperature of not higher than 50 °C and for an
immersion time of not longer than 30 minutes. When
an ultrasonic cleaning method is used, cleaning must
be conducted at a frequency of 48 kHz or lower, at
an vibrator output of 0.02 W/cm3, at a temperature of
not higher than 40 °C, and for a time of 5 minutes or
shorter.
Notes
• Care must be exercised in cleaning process so that the
mounted capacitor will not come into contact with any
cleaned object or the like or will not get rubbed by a stiff
brush or similar. If such precautions are not taken
particularly when the ultrasonic cleaning method is
employed, terminal breakage may occur.
• When performing ultrasonic cleaning under conditions
other than stated above, conduct adequate advance
checkout.
